Lyrics for 'My Dads Face' by '5 Chinese Brothers'
Tom Meltzer
When I Look In The Mirror I See My Dad's Face
Where My Face Used To Be
Then I Realize That He Was About My Age
When He Started His Own Family
Then My Radicalism, All My College Marxism
Starts Drifting On Out To Deep Sea
When I Look In The Mirror And I See My Dad's Face
Where My Face Used To Be
When I Was A Kid I Used To Look At My Dad
And I'd Say, "this Is Who I Am Not."
He Used Bryl-creem, I Used Hair Spray
He Was Fat, I Was Skinny
He Drank Beer, I Smoked Pot
But Now My Feet Are Disappearing Beneath An Ocean Of Beer
And Not So Mysteriously
When I Look At My Face I See In Its Place
My Dad's Physiognomy
I Used To Look At My Friends, They Looked Fifty Years Older
Some Nights When I'd Get Too Stoned
That's When I Believed Time Was A Visible Line
With Its End And Beginning Both Shown
Now I Know That's Not True
But I've Still Got An Idea Pretty Much Of What I Can Expect
When I Look In The Mirror And I See My Dad's Mug
Sitting There Right On Top Of My Neck
Well, My Dad Had It Rough, He Couldn't Keep His True Love
He Never Reached His Sought-after Perfection
So As I Headed Down My Own Life's Road
I Headed Straight In The Other Direction
Now, When I Turn Around, He's Not So Far Away
And We're On The Same Road, I Can See
When I Look In The Mirror And I See My Dad's Face
Where My Face Used To Be
